ThickAsThieves: i asked a black guy if he was related to a famous black guy that he looks very similar to, his response "defining features don't equal relation at least not typically" is he a grump, or did i cross some kinda they-all-look-the-same line?
mircea_popescu: lol this is nsa crap so soviet oy vey.
thestringpuller: some of the stuff mircea_popescu says is like listening to the buddha speak lol

ThickAsThieves: loyal Americans with expert skills who make sacrifices to help protect the freedoms we all cherish; (5) NSA is committed to increased transparency, public dialog and faithful implementation of any changes required by our overseers. (No emphasis added. Underlines appear in the document.)
ThickAsThieves: (1) NSA’s mission is of great value to the Nation”; (2) NSA performs its mission the right way—lawful, compliant and in a way that protects civil liberties and privacy; (3) NSA performs its mission exceptionally well. We strive to be the best that we can be, because that’s what America requires as part of its defense in a dangerous world; (4) The people who work for NSA are
ozbot: NSA Sent Home Talking Points for Employees to Use in Conversations with Family & Friends During Holi
ThickAsThieves: "Making conversation at Thanksgiving can be hard, but apparently it's especially hard if you're an employee of the National Security Agency. So the agency has stepped in to solve the problem, issuing this list of approved talking points for fending off hostile relatives"
kakobrekla: anyway no glitches or anything and i abused the card a lot
kakobrekla: its a 5770 OCed to shit
kakobrekla: then i moved it to my main box
kakobrekla: well its not mining any more but at the time yeah
mircea_popescu: he's off to buy the east indies on his accumulated mined coins

ThickAsThieves: some is, the 7970 seems prone to this
pankkake: lol, they probably went up in price too
ThickAsThieves: the stuff has better resale value than i expected
mircea_popescu: i made that call in 2011.
mircea_popescu: it's winter tho
mike_c: i think i'm currently losing about $2 an hour
mircea_popescu: obviously the same cave early behaviour is related to a lot of the forum-style scammy nonsense passing for investment so successfully.
mircea_popescu: and this is not limited to our narrow corner of tghe world. keeping a fortune and making a fortune are widely different skillsets.
mircea_popescu: but it is coherent with the behaviour that GOT YOU that btc in the first place.
mircea_popescu: now, this behaviour clearly does not optimize the $$$ you get for your btc,
mircea_popescu: the same will repeat for a while, i suspect. most of the people that willl sell under 10k have sold or are about to sell at 1k ish
mircea_popescu: because all the kids who were going to sell at 100 to 1000 sold at 130ish
mircea_popescu: the mounting buying pressure is temporarily sated, but then later on ? 200, 500, 800 go by like a dream
mircea_popescu: this is why we see this see saw pattern on the price : once it reaches 100 everyone who thought "three digits" sells out
ThickAsThieves: and will thus miss much of the appreciation
mircea_popescu: the funny thing is, that the people who caved early and got bitcoin will continue with the same behaviour : they cave early and get dollars, too.
mircea_popescu: the bears are more akin to the girl : they expect bitcoin to court them.
mircea_popescu: now, bitcoiners are exactly the opposite : they are in bitcoin because they caved early, to the lures of this bitcoin idea.
mircea_popescu: in general, the expectation will be that she caves late. and indeed should you after a three week courtship tell her gtfo, you should have said yes on the first pass it'll be unexpected.
mircea_popescu: now, this is a rare behaviour irl. if you go up to a girl and ask her out, it's rare that she says "ok, i'm willing to be your gf now" after two hours.
ThickAsThieves: some really do enjoy knowing they have a legacy to leave
ThickAsThieves: mike_c this value varies by culture
mike_c: tough to enjoy your legacy when you're dead.
mircea_popescu: everyone involved in bitcoin of any consequence exhibits the "cave early" behaviour.
mircea_popescu: consider the following imo very illustrative example :
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the trick is, making a fortune and keeping a fortune are pretty divergent skills.
mike_c: of course, since the ancestor who made the money is dead, who cares?
jborkl: they have not been here in the past and seen (insert scammer of the past week here) did not pay anyone back
ThickAsThieves: mp this reminds me of the concept discussed in the past, of well-off parents not properly teaching their kids to stay wealthy, and then over X generations all wealth is lost to the family name
jborkl: All the noobs think they are really getting bitcoins back from (insert scammer of the week here)
ozbot: Beastie Boys : Skills to Pay the Bills - YouTube
mircea_popescu: way, way too high.
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as they're not groveling nude at the feet of their betters, they DO think way too high of themselves.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is this not self-contradictory ?
mircea_popescu: "The big problem is not that they think too highly of themselves. Their bigger challenge is conflict negotiation, and they often are unable to think for themselves."
jborkl: I lose track, it isn't a exciting week anymore if less than 10,000 btc is hacked(run off with by a shitbag)
mircea_popescu: jborkl a few days back, the theory ghoes.
mircea_popescu: no seriously ? get a job in porn, the set mother will tell you when you need to wash the cum off.
mircea_popescu: " It became increasingly difficult to balance school, socializing, laundry, and a part-time job."
ThickAsThieves: why does anyone take Peter Schiff seriously?
mircea_popescu: fuck you, go live in the park.
mircea_popescu: i find the fact that this is even measured offensive.
truffles: life is depressing, when thats figured out, maybe some will grow up
dub: I learned to wipe my own ass just the other day
dub: what do you even have on your CV at that point?
dub: I wonder how many people that took parents to a job interview got hired

pankkake: https://twitter.com/Driedfred/status/407063820192858112/photo/1 would those people be safer with bitcoin? :D
dub: we're forgetting the dev team will save us
Vexual: double spend and get the hamburger too
mircea_popescu: whole new prostitution dynamics, you send the no fee 1 satoshi tx as she takes her top off, the tx finally confirms by the time she's wiping her lip.
Vexual: waiting for that no fee confirm
mircea_popescu: it would buy exactly what it buys today.
mircea_popescu: "a billion dollars is the most bitcoin can ever be."
